Crank by Ellen Hopkins
5.0

Oh my. There is so much to say about this book. There were times my stomach was in such knots, I had to take deep breaths and a break. Written in short image prose, not an academic definition, but my best just now, the shapes matched the message. Based on the author’s daughter’s descent into the tunnel of meth addiction, the reader is flung into the hell. This is the best piece I’ve read on teen addiction. Don’t be put off by the 535 pages. There is only a paragraph or two on each page. I read this in a day.
